Chapter 209
The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride
âIâm fine. Thank you.â Janet shook her head, patted the dust off her dress, and picked up her bag to leave, âMiss, your ankle is scraped. I think there must be other wounds as well. Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up,â Kent offered.
âNo, Iâm fine. I have to go to work. Iâll buy some band-aids on my way,â Janet said, forcing a polite smile. She had to be in the office in ten minutes.
âPretty lady, please give me a chance to make amends with you,â Kent said, holding her hand.
The sudden praise left Janet astounded. Just as she was about to say something, the man spoke, âIâm Kent Perkins. There is a hospital nearby. I can drive you there. If youâre worried about being late for work, I can ask for leave for you. I am a Perkins. Iâm sure Iâd be able to help you.â
Janet frowned. She hated the way Kent introduced himself. He sounded arrogant and cocky, as if he believed the entire world should know him and show him respect.
Janet glanced at Kentâs sports car and back at his expensive suit.
She couldnât help but wonder if he belonged to the famous Perkins family she knew.
âNo, thanks. Iâm leaving now.â Janet had no interest in talking to Kent or knowing about his wealthy family. She withdrew her hand and walked away.
Kentâs attitude and behavior revealed that he only seemed like a gentleman on the outside. It was a mere facade. Janet believed he was a playboy in nature who flirted with every woman he liked.
âCan you at least give me your phone number? I would at least like to treat you to a meal as a token of my apology.â Unwilling to give up, Kent continued to follow her.
He had noticed the displeasure on her face, but he was determined to win her heart. After all, everyone knew the Perkins family, and no one had ever turned him down.
Kentâs constant nagging infuriated Janet. She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. âIâm fine, sir. You neednât worry about me. I request you to stop following me. Otherwise, Iâd be late for work.â
Kent stopped and nodded in acknowledgment.
Seeing that he had finally stopped following her, Janet quickly rushed to the Larson Group.
A slow smile emerged on Kentâs face as he watched Janet disappear out of his sight. He turned around and got into his car.
âInteresting.â
This trick had always worked in the past. Women from ordinary families instantly fell for him after seeing his expensive sports car. His charm never failed to work on them.
However, Janet didnât seem bothered one bit.
Kentâs smile broadened. After a long time, he finally met a woman that was worth the chase.
